But for a recent occurrence I should certainly not be telling the story of a friend, or, rather, I should say, of two friends of mine.

But for a recent occurrence I should certainly not be telling the story of a friend, or, rather, I should say, of two friends of mine. What that occurrence was I will not here indicate-it is unnecessary; but it has not been without its effect upon my life and plans. If it be asked by those who may read these pages under what circumstances it became possible for me to acquire such familiarity with certain scenes and incidents in the lives of one man and one woman,-scenes and incidents which, from their very nature, were such that no third person could figure in them,-I have only to explain that Grant Harlson and I were friends from boyhood, practically from babyhood, and that never, during all our lives together, did a change occur in our relationship. He has told me many things of a nature imparted by one man to another very rarely, and only when each of the two feels that they are very close together in that which sometimes makes two men as one. He was proud and glad when he told me these things-they were but episodes, and often trivial ones-and I was interested deeply. They added the details of a history much of which I knew and part of which I had guessed at.

Stanley Waterloo (1846-1913) was an American author and journalist known for his reflective and engrossing storytelling. His work often explored the complexities of human nature and the intersection of the individual with society. One of his notable works, 'A Man and a Woman' (1892), delves into the intricate dynamics of gender relationships and the societal expectations of the late 19th century. Waterloo's narrative style is characterized by its vivid description and psychological depth, often immersing the reader in the nuanced emotions and thoughts of his characters. Born in Illinois, Waterloo made significant contributions to the American literary scene through his novels, short stories, and articles. His other works include 'The Story of Ab' (1897), a prehistoric tale which gained popularity for its adventurous and imaginative depiction of early human life. Waterloo's literary contributions reflect his keen observation and contemplation of the world around him, capturing the essence of the American spirit in transition at the dawn of the 20th century. His works remain a testament to his talent in painting the human condition with words, offering a window into the cultural and social fabric of his time.
